Satyam Sharma [Fri, 10 Aug 2007 22:35:05 +0000 (15:35 -0700)]
[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.

This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs.  Documentation is also updated
accordingly.

Issues and brief design overview:

(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
    possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
    exclusively from userspace.  But netconsole must support boot/module
    params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
    setup from the kernel.  Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
    lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
    via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
    boot/module option string.  This adds complexity and some redundancy here
    and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
    through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
    dynamically).  However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
    complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
    kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.

(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
    mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem.  If we used an ioctl(2) to
    create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
    able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
    specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
    we set up the netpoll.  For configfs, this information is not available at
    the time of mkdir(2).  So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
    configfs) disabled by default.  The user is expected to set various
    attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
    required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute.  Thus,
    netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
    _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself.  This design enables
    the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
    attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
    netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created.  All this
    effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.

(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
    sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
    compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.

(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
    that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
    netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
    be used from netconsole.

[NET] netconsole: Support multiple logging targets

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.

This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and
(including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really
add too many bytes to module text.  All the complexity (and size) comes with
the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's
plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid
a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too).

Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify
multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string.

Brief overview:

We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock).  Get rid of the static
"default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our
netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour
such as default values).  During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the
separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option
string.  The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup.  During
exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding

ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC
address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to.
Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message.  We respond to that and
update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll.  This makes
sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the
netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either
sysfs or configfs are used.  So this helps us to keep up with the MAC
address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate.

[ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at
  runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose --
  some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary

[NET] netconsole: Simplify boot/module option setup logic

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.

Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of
built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() ->
netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs
modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config
variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()).

This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a
module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string
passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable.  So,
strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always
called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases
similar.

Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we
put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about
option_setup() being "defined but not used".  Also, the "configured" variable
is redundant with this patch and hence removed.

caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data

Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b
transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global.

For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP
IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been
restricted to AP-only subifs.

ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed.

Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions:
 - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration
 - ieee80211_rts_duration
 - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration

driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used.
Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit

ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be
used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used.

This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets,

up.

FF02::1 because it has link-local scope.  Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:

       - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
         redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
         Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).

I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.

This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test.  This won't be the case anymore.

The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field.  I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

17 years ago[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed
Ilpo Järvinen [Mon, 8 Oct 2007 06:43:10 +0000 (23:43 -0700)]
[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.

In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.
